Social Sightings
Candy wrapper recycling. Planting trees. Science fairs. Eco-Friendly Retailers are using all of these methods to minimize environmental impact inside stores and in the community. They’re also sharing about it on social media.

This month we’re featuring EFR projects we’ve spotted on social media. Click on images or retailer names below to see the full social posts. Plus, don't miss our contest to win the last Eco-Friendly Retailer table drape in stock!
Subaru Pacific Hosts Environmental Science Fair
Subaru Pacific hosted an Impact-a-Thon for its Love Promise charity Grades of Green. Local elementary students set up eco-friendly science fair projects on the covered service drive. The goal of the event is to let kids present their projects and encourage them to apply the ideas in their schools and community.
Lithia Reno Team Gets Dirty at Tree Planting
The team at Lithia Reno Subaru didn’t just donate 20 shade trees to a local soccer park. Twenty of their team members showed up, got their hands dirty, and planted them. The retailer coordinated with park rangers and local nursery staff to select the right trees for the area.  
Enter to Win an Eco-Friendly Table Drape
Austin Subaru celebrated Texas Arbor Day with a tree giveaway. We saw their social media posts and spotted the new Eco-Friendly Retailer table drape.
